Nintendogs at Target = Free Leash!

[philosophyst]

I am one of those nuts who is excited about Nintendogs and have been looking for a place to buy it where a premium is being offered. I just came across a Target flyer in yesterday's paper and they are offering a leash. I admit, it doesn't sound too exciting but it's the only "extra" I have found being offered for buying Nintendogs. If you know another, please post it here.

Here is a scan of the flyer:

I was always against putting stickers on systems. Eventhough those faceplate type stickers they have for the DS are pretty cool.

Are you SURE about that EB pre-order? I pre-ordered the game there a couple weeks ago and was'nt told anything about it. I guess I'll find out when the game comes in tommorow.

If you don't buy Nintendogs when you get a new game, then you will lose money not buying it. Buy now! Buy now! Buy now!

I'm the exact same way, though. I just don't have a DS, or I would probably get the leash, or just wait for some more games to come out and for Nintendogs to go down in price.

eb games, Id preorder tonight if you want one..

Almost every EB got just a few of these in. Dangerboys store had over 30 pre-orders and got in 5 bags. The store I got mine from had at least 6 pre-orders (mine being the 6th) which was placed a day after they pulled the Preorder special off the website and they only got 2. No one got enough to cover their pre-orders. Rushing out tonight isnt gonna help you.

[philosophyst]

Oh well, it sounds like I'm in for a Target leash.

I was at Target today and they told me that they are only getting Nintendogs on Wednesday, isn't is supposed to be out tomorrow?

I was reading that the pre-order swag was in short supply. I rushed down to the EB where I pre-ordered and ask if the N'dog game was out yet. The manager was working and said it did not come out till tomorrow. He then ask if I had pre-ordered, I said yes, he then reached under the counter and handed me the lunch bag and said "here, so you don't feel as though you wasted a trip." I was smiling like a big dog and left swinging my bag! Cannot wait until tomorrow.

some stores get in tomorrow, others get it shipped tomorrow

Oh No....Now I have to decide if I want to wait an extra day for a silly Target leash or rush out tomorrow morning and find a store that has it.

On the Nintendogs Simon Mall Tour they had card that said Gamestop was giving away the Puppy Protector Backpack Lock when you reserve but no gamestop I visit has even heard of the things.

Any collectors getting each of the three versions at three different stores to get the different pre-order bonuses?

-mental image of little kids deciding to drag their DSes around on the leashes-

[SoulBlazer]

Blah. Well, I'll just have to ask when I get my copy of the game at my local EB tommorow. Hopefully they know how much I spend there and will feel sorry for me. :)

Remember one of Target's icons? Bull Terrier with red circle, have Nintendo and Target thought of releasing Target Exclusive Bull Terrier version?

[Richter]

quick Q about this game (havent read much on it)
do you stay as a pup? or you actually turn to an adult dog, old dog, die, repeat cycle?

No the dog does stay a puppy forever.

On seperate note has anyone got it yet?

[SoulBlazer]

I just got home with it. Have'nt had a chance to try it yet because I work second shift.

On a related note -- my local EB store where I had the game pre-ordered had gotten in ONE, yes ONE of the pre-order coolers and screen cleaners! And since I was the first person to ASK about it, they gave it to me with a smile. :D

Also, I was told that pre-orders for the game were tight -- they only had ONE extra copy of the game that was'nt spoken for in a pre-order. @_@

There's already talk of same simulation game for cats, IMO, I'd like Nintendo stay with dogs, due to the fact that Nintendo pays a lot of attention to details on the games, if you read the article, Miyamoto is also a hobby puppy breeder, I'm sure all 18 breeds on the games are observed and based on the real dogs in life as they grow up.

There're still a lot of areas for Nintendo to explore this series (just dogs alone) and milk the heck out of this concept, in fact, it just got started, as a lot of females and non-gamers are joining the craze.
